I rock the tuneband, its solid enough... i wish the strap was wider for a bit more support for the phone but definitely does the job...

I put on the screen protector as well for ****s and giggles and its actually not bad
[Nexus One Accessories] piggie916:
Just Ordered the Iarmband one. Will let you know how it fits when it gets here.
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
Have you done hard sprinting with it? I love my Tuneband, but haven't dared to run full sprint with it.
[Nexus One Accessories] rchatburn:
Slip it in between your heart rate monitor band its not in the best position but it works for me.
[Nexus One Accessories] JHaste:
yea it jostles around a bit... i would recommend you strap it high enough to tuck a sleeve over it
[Nexus One Accessories] nullexe:
I run with the Belkin armband (from when I had an iPhone), and sony bluetooth earphones. I find it fits the Nexus quite snugly, the sound quality is great even while sprinting and no cables!
[Nexus One Accessories] alvinleephd:
for those of you with a tuneband, does the phone fit with a case?
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
It fits perfectly, but I haven't dared to do hard sprinting with it yet, since it's not a full coverage. It's like a silicon sleeve and the band goes through the back of the sleeve.

This works perfectly for me. The normal way of using it with the iPhone will not work with the nexus because the hole for the 3.5mm jack is on the wrong side. Rather than destroy the thing, I put it on upside-down and it has two holes on the bottom, one of which I can use. Also this way the flap that allows you to slide the phone in and that's supposed to keep the phone inside the thing is on the top and somewhat secure thanks to the 3.5mm plug. Also, I've used it on about 15-20 different runs and it's never bothered me or showed any signs of wear.

Got it.. Ran 3 miles today, did back and biceps! Cord NEVER got in my way, and stayed plugged in the whole time!! **** YEA

Never even felt it was there, i can still swype text. Never really even thought it would be comfortable. I had to put it up higher than my bicep... If you have over 17" Biceps this would be a uncomfortable product.
[Nexus One Accessories] zok-star:
has anyone else found any decent ones?
[Nexus One Accessories] MaximReapage:
Really? I've done full-out sprints with the tuneband, no problem.
[Nexus One Accessories] madj42:
Try the one I linked to. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be disappointed.
[Nexus One Accessories] zok-star:
non of these places ship to Australia :(
[Nexus One Accessories] HannoverFist:
I use the Belkin Sport Armband - but I wear it around my wrist so the N1 ends up riding like a big flat watch. The RunKeeper app is really well done, and wearing it like this allows me to see pace and distance, etc.

I haven't tried it with headphones yet.
[Nexus One Accessories] MagicMan3:
I just got my Tuneband a couple of days ago. The days I got it I used it one the treadmill for a 30min jog at 6mph and no issues. Yesterday I used it at the gym on the weight machines and no issues either. I figure if it the N1 did pop out at least the speaker wire should keep it from hitting the floor. But it felt solid the whole time. Good product, especially when it was 12.99(?) on sale at amazon.
[Nexus One Accessories] zok-star:
I ended up buying some iphone armband for like $7aud. Went for a 10KM jog the other weekend, and i cant fault it!!!

I had to cut a hole for the nexus one head fone jack but other than that perfect! Just on the outside of the where the phone sat was sweaty but inside not one drop!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bliblablub:
Hello mates :)

I try to surf by WiFi most of the time when I am at home but unfortunately my Desire deactivates WiFi ramdomly after ~ 1.5 minutes. The connection is not lost, WiFi is really deactivated! If I re-enable WiFi afterwards, the same occurs again :(

WiFi-Standby-Policy is on "Never" and I currently don't use any other WiFi-managing apps.

The problem is really pi**ing me off as I cannot simply browse that way :[

Here is a short Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2IBU-C6_XA See 0:13

Anyone else having this issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
What firmware and radio are you running?

Have you tried changing your Router to connect to a different Wi-Fi frequency channel, could be something to do with interference maybe?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bliblablub:
FW 2.1-update1

Radio 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Can't imagine that a wrong channel in my router forces my Desire to switch off WiFi... I'm forced to use channel 13 as I would have interferences otherwise

edit: changed it from 13 to 10, didn't change anything.

Could a hardreset solve the problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Yes, i was going to suggest you try a hard reset to get rid of any software bugs and set your device back to factory condition.

If that does not work, and if not already done so, then you could try rooting and flashing to a different rom. You could also try a different radio version too as this can improve signal strength of Wi-Fi.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bliblablub:
Did a hardreset but problem still persists :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bliblablub:
I am still having this annoying bug :( In the meantime I did a hardreset 3 times and also bought another router -.-

Please help me!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedons1983:
I've seen a lot of people complaining about one problem or another on here, and it puzzles me greatly why more respondents don't say the bleeding obvious.. if you phone doesn't work, take it back! That's what warranties are for people!
[Captivate General] idkmybffzeeshan:
Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to android, and I have no idea how to root a phone. I am what they call a noob. Thing is, I have a Mac and only a Mac, and none of the instructions out right now focus on Mac. Can anyone help me out? Please and thank you :)
[Captivate General] redapex:
Should be the exact same instructions. Just ad a "./" in front of whatever adb commands you have to run. I just exchanged my Aria and wont be able to get home to my mac for awhile to root it. But if its any different I'll let you know.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725555

Follow those directions and you will be okay! That's how I did it (i did not use adb, i just held the volume keys and started the phone) I have a mac.
[Captivate General] atinm:
Though you do have to make sure that the Mac can see your phone. You will need to enable USB debugging and choose Mass Storage for it. That MP Application is just crap on OS X and I have set my phone to always behave as Mass Storage.
[Android Software Development] richbayliss:
Hi guys,

I have been having an issue with the Email app since Exchange support was added in version 2.0 whereby I cannot specify a port in the server Url.

I have submitted bug requests to the AOSP bug tracker, others have followed suit and also pitched in - but alas it doesn't seem to be a priority. Which is perfectly acceptable given the list, but it is becoming a real show-stopper for me.

SO! I would like to try and fix it. I have identified some of the code which might help get me started and add that support - accept it seems I need to build the ENTIRE android source tree in order to create just the Email app.... which is a problem for me, since I have OSX 10.6 which is flaky with the build instructions.

I tried to extract the source from the tree, and place it into an Eclipse project and build against the SDK 2.2 but this is not happening as Google have linked against the source tree, so certain imports fail (com.android.providers.Calendar for example)

So I am wondering if it is at all possible to build the standard apps in Eclipse? - I'm pretty sure it must be as I think LauncherPro is based on the original Launcher (please correct me if I am wrong here)

Thanks guys,

[Captivate General] doug_s:
Today is my first day with more or less normal usage pattern with the Captivate. I've been watching the battery on the status bar with interest. Decided to look at charge level through Settings > About Phone > Status, and while the status bar graphic looks to show a battery at ~80-85% capacity, the actual number was 62%. Sure would be nice to have a better depiction of the situation on the status bar...
[Captivate General] tysj:
Same here. Looks like mine is at least 50% in the taskbar but is "actually" 29%. Is there a way to revert to the default android taskbar?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Really, someone needs to write an app for these phones that does away with the battery graphic and just shows you the percent number (Like they do on the iphones).

Cant believe nobody has done this for android yet.
[Captivate General] shannoncole05:
Battery Snap at market does this pretty well
[Captivate General] derek4484:
This gives you a widget, which is decent. But on the iphone in the upper corner, there is no silly batter graphic, it shows you a number percentage(i.e. 82%), that way you know exactly how much battery life is left.
[Captivate General] candymann:
Battery Status Indicator in the marketplace seems to work. There are a bunch of other ones, none that I have found that actually replace the stock battery icon. It just displays another battery icon with the % in the status bar.
[Captivate General] hondaguy:
it is the same issue with my nexus one, the battery icon looks like 80% left and the status screen shows 60ish%. it must be an android os issue. the funny thing is that the x10a i had seemed to show a much better representation of actual life left. i used to use my battery status from the market and it would just show the % of life left all the time in the top left corner of the status bar
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Yep, I've noticed the same. I think that the battery indicater doesn't change untill after you reach the threshold for state... So it doesn't show two bars missing until you hit 59/60%. its very annoying.

One of my coworkers had an app that places a percent indicater in the notification bar... Ill be looking into getting that.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
I think the battery icon is only showing 4 or 5 stages of battery life, and it's very underhanded because it shows more than what it actually has.

a full battery is > 75%

slight sliver is 74% - 50%

orange is 49% - 25%

red is < 25%

I would love to have the icon replaced with something more accurate.
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
I've just seen that i can get the Streak for £60 with a £30 a month contract on O2. I'm very tempted... but is it worth it? What don't you like about the phone, what do you love about it?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :D

Cheers!
[Streak 5 General] ap3604:
Naw... its a terrible phone and no one here would ever buy one :rolleyes:

What dont I like about it? EVERYTHING

What do I love about it? NOTHING

Might as well get a locked down iPhone am I right? ;)
[Streak 5 General] fards:
I did that very deal,

As to whether I love it or not, well that's a tricky one, but easily demonstrated by the realisation that I haven't touched my hd2 Since... and those who know me will know how much Time I used to put into hacking that one..

The one review of the streak summed it up for me perfectly;

It has its foibles, its never going to be mainstream, it could easily become a classic, and if you're The kind of geek who likes experimenting, tinkering and improving things then this is the device to have.

be aware its more pda than phone though... it works fine as a phone, but its not its primary function..

Almost polar opposite to MS and their stooped winmoan 7 philosophy.... :)

Edit, I should also point out that I rarely use my laptop at home anymore...unless its attached to the streak and I'm running a adb shell investigating how it works...
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at?

I've been using android phones ever since the G1 was first released and i'm thinking about getting the Streak, I was just curious as to what it's pros and cons are.

Haha, it definitely sounds like my kind of phone :)

I still have my Nexus, so i guess if the Streak seems a bit too big for me to take to the pub i can take my nexus out instead :)

Although, from what i've seen that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Thanks for your help!
[Streak 5 General] samstables:
I picked one up on the O2 deal for £35 a month and nothing to pay on Friday so have had a weekend of playing with it.

What do I like? I LOVE the big screen and I love Android. It's so much smoother and faster than WinMo. I don't care it's running 1.6 as I know Dell are spending time on making sure that 2.1 works properly for us. Aren't you Dellboys?!

I was using an HTC Touch Pro 2 until I got the Streak. The TP2's still got my old sim in (waiting for a PAC code) I have hardly touched it since getting the Streak - and every time I pick up the TP2 it feels like a slow clunky toy in comparison! (and winmo keeps crashing...). Interestingly the Streak is the easiest 'phone' I've ever connected to via USB on my laptop - it connects straight away every time (unlike WinMo!)

The Streak is really nicely engineered - it feels well made and looks it too, it's very comfortable and easy to use in both landscape and portrait mode.

The only real problem I've had is finding a decent calendar program (still searching) and I thought my camera button didn't work, but you have to press it hard to activate the camera, then it focuses with a little halfway press and you have to press it harder again to take a pic.

As I primarily use the Streak as a PDA, browser, music player and ebook reader - the phone function is almost secondary for me although I text a lot. I'm having a few problems adapting to the keyboard although I do like the numberpad that everyone else seems to hate!! I'd recommend Swype or SlideIT as they offer a way faster way to type than pecking one key at a time.

I am really impressed with my Streak - I'd say it passed my expectations by about a mile. I think it is a brilliant piece of design, it's fast, it does everything I want and there's loads of free and cheap software - what else is there?!

I guess I'd better update my signature!!
[Streak 5 General] wondercoolguy:
Try calwidget or pure calendar widget they are awesome. Ive been using Calwidget since the day it came out. from G1 to Mytouch to Nexus one and it will be on my streak as well (if it comes out for TMO)
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
Awesome, thanks for your input :D

I only got a Nexus a while ago (thank you android seeding program!) which i absolutely love and will definitely still use. But, i fell in love with the streak as soon as i saw it. I think you guys may have just persuaded me :D
[Streak 5 General] fards:
don't forget we expect you to get involved in hacking it then as soon as you get your grubby mits on one :P

I'm learning rapidly (although I do have a background in *nix) but I'm still way over my head at the mo..

adn louder volume fix through the speaker would be good (if possible) ;)

RE: the size as long as you don't keep it in a pocket that will put pressure on it(like any 3"+device) such as a jeans pocket, then it should be fine at the pub.. although obviously you may lose friends when they get fed up with you playing with it all the time...

if you're in manc then nip and get one of those cheap cases from superetrader, they work fine..
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
If mine broke today I would go and get one tomorrow, if you are getting it from o2 I was reading that they now have a 32 gig one but I don't know if that is on contract, the article just said o2 were selling a 32 gig for £449 :)
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
I recently purchased the Texas beta device and plan on purchasing the American unlocked device when Dell releases it (if hardware change is major). I really hope some great ROM development comes to the phone and I will be hooked until WP7.

But really, it all depends on personal opinion for any device that is 'worth it'

.
[Streak 5 General] Ineedtoys:
I think most people who have found the Streak disappointing (or just too big) have done so because they bought it as a phone instead of looking at what they really need.

Dell and O2 don't sell it like that - it's a just about pocketable web tablet with secondary phone functionality (think N800/N900 with much better hardware) - hence it being offered with a data only plan.

I bought it on that basis and it works really well at what it was designed for. Perfect screen for lazy eyes, good battery life, good audio, no lag to be seen. Gets used for web/mail/videos/audio round the house, SatNav in the car, and for access to non-corporate stuff at work.

There's no way I'd expect it to replace my main phone (BB 9700), if I did, I'd probably end up smashing it up like that bloke on Modaco.

Shame accessories are so ludicrously expensive but hopefully that will improve after the US release - as will app compatibility once 2.2 comes along.
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
Thanks for your input everyone.

I am now the proud owner of Dell Streak :D

Now as soon as O2 activate my account (could take 24 hours ¬_¬) i'll be able to play with it properly. Cheers guys ;)
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
Awesome to hear, please let us know your thoughts after you have digested the device a bit.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
what is so special about iphone4 "gyroscope" compared to the ordinary motion sensors found in phones today?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] natsirt789:
I assume it can detect more axis than the current accelerometer.

like, current sensors only detect X and Y axis (like if u tilt your phone left or right), but the gyroscope can detect if you tilt it forwards or backwards, plus maybe more than that. so all this means an uber gaming machine..

correct me if i'm wrong xD

But i think, unless you want to use your phone as a hardcore portable game device, it wont really matter. I see its main use in gaming only, but who knows, might have some interesting apps out there. If i want to experience good games, i would use my computer or a console, gaming on my mobile is only for time wasting, like puzzle games or 2D platformers... quick 2 minute games =)

The radio in the Captivate is ATT crapware - have to pay a subscription to ATT and it appears to download/stream data instead of using the built in radio.

The Vibrant has an app - radio.apk

I pushed the .apk to the Captivate - but, it doesn't work. Most likely it needs to be modified to work properly or there are some additional files necessary for it to work. It opens fine and detects whether or not the headphones are in place, but when "Play" is pressed it says it can't start the radio.
